Editing is not the most important part of the movie.
It IS the movie.

Does that include the lens?
A few different would be sweet to add also.
Sure it’ll work for narrative as long as you aren’t chasing “the film look.” 🙂 -
[Shawn Whiting] “And while business is good and I enjoy the work, I feel that at some point I would like to move on to larger projects that will have wide releases and more social engagement.
“It’s good to have goals, but you need to pay the bills too. If your business is making money, for crying-out-loud man!, don’t quit it!!
There’s a saying “money follows money.” That is, if you build a successful business folks will then invest in your pet projects and/or hire you for the projects you mention.
Make sense?

It also has a nice look to it because the photofloods are tungsten on the subject and the background has a bit of green spike. Not so shabby, IMO.

thanks for the kinds words. I agree 1/1000 is crazy-talk!

You need more light and a good understanding of contrast ratio.
Imagine you want a 1/1000 shutter. The equation is:
Frame Rate * Shutter Angle = Shutter Speed.
We’re basically stuck at 1/24 for lip synch. So now it’s a matter of algebra.
1/24 * 1/x = 1/1000
x=42
Shutter angle of 1/42 as a degree that’s about 7 degrees. So very very very thin shutter angle.If a “normal” exposure is 1/24 *1/2=1/48, then you need 5 times the amount of light to keep the same f/stop.
Make sense?

Since no one is responding, I will.
The Forgotten’s look, to my eye, is standard, zone system type of stuff. The cinematographer does a fine job of motivating light.

Don’t ignore other markets. Not only could you make more income, but the cost of living is less.
